[Lexicog] indigenous lexical relations

[Wayne Leman]

Has anyone on this list worked on a dictionary project in which the
indigenous speakers of the language themselves came up with the lexical
relations, including any semantic categorization, that were displayed in the
dictionary? I am particularly interested in instances of Indigenous
Knowledge being reflected in the lexical relations and categorization,
without influence from any other language or worldview outside that of the
worldview of the indigenes. ("Indigenous Knowledge" is now a term which is
used professionally and there are some interesting hits for it from Internet
Web searches.)
